- Health Notes
Rice ProteinRice Protein
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyAtherosclerosis Refer to label instructions [1 star]Though not yet proven in clinical research, animal studies suggest that rice protein-based diets result in less buildup of atherosclerotic plaque compared with animal protein-based diets.Athletic Performance Refer to label instructions [1 star]Some athletes believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair. However, no research has investigated the effects of rice protein on athletic performance.Obesity Refer to label instructions [1 star]Dieters who are gluten or dairy sensitive and looking to supplement protein might consider rice protein, though its actual benefits for weight loss have not been studied.
Rice protein is extracted from rice and used in some protein supplements. Vegetarians may prefer it over protein supplements made from animal sources (such as whey or casein, which are milk proteins). Since rice is rarely involved in food allergies,1 rice protein may also be preferred by people with food allergies, and may be suitable to use in hypoallergenic infant formulas.2 Rice protein is not a complete protein, however, due to insufficient levels of the amino acids lysine and threonine.3, 4 Therefore, these amino acids are often added to rice protein products to correct this imbalance.

Comments about Vega® Sport Performance Protein - Vanilla:
I use it in smoothies like chocolate almond milk,a banana,vanilla vega sport, ice and peanut butter powder. I sometimes add Acai powder to the mix for an extra super fruit boost. It makes it easy to get the nutrition I need with no chalky texture, no odd aftertaste or even no unpleasant taste! I have tried so many protein powders from GNC, but this one is by far my favorite. It is very easy on my sensitive stomach - no gas! It is dairy, gluten and soy free too which is amazing. I highly recommend this product, but you should try it using something other than just water.

Comments about Vega® Sport Performance Protein - Vanilla:
It tastes absolutley horrible. There is no vanilla flavor at all. Very chalky texture, even if I add more water than recommend or juice which wasn't recommended at all. But, once I drink it a few nimutes after my workout I feel completely renewed again in the next 20 to 30 minutes. I just drink it really fast so I don't have to taste it to many times lol. I would recommend if the taste improves, because I love that it is all plant-based, all natrual ingredients.

Why shoud you get a bullet camera?
Moving away from the well-known GoPro box shaped camera, I will focus a little bit on the traditionally effective "bullet camera", they carry loads interesting characteristics which could help sport junkies make their camera choice.

Tonight marks Tampa Bay's last contest against the Western Conference in the regular season. Can the Bolts find success on the night they honor Dave Andreychuk?
It would have been easy to write off the Lightning when Steven Stamkos went down with a broken leg, but the Bolts, while not thriving, are surviving. How are they doing it? The Raw Charge team takes a look.
When the news broke on Saturday night about the schedule, we brought it to you, but we didn't really go over it in depth. Let's change that, shall we?
Season-opener appears set for next Saturday, but what is to come beyond that?
(Update (7:40 pm): Finally, it has been announced that the players have signed the Memo Of Understanding. This means that teams can start signing and trading starting at 9:00 pm PST tonight. Woo!...
NHL schedules won't be released until the new CBA is ratified by both sides, but initial reports say when New York teams are opening.
No, the schedule isn't out yet. Yes, it will be an Atlantic-heavy -- and therefore challenging -- slate for the still-young Islanders.
What would a 48-game schedule look like for the Dallas Stars?
Regular Season schedule for the Ducks, Kings, and Sharks.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"everything fit on here. I'm so glad I didn't use David's Bridal or used an expensive calligrapher. The quality of the paper is what I expected from reading the other reviews. Thick paper. Beautiful design. I'd recommend these for any spring wedding."
"I wanted to add the date to this reception card, but wasn't able to make it fit nicely by typing it in to the text boxes. I used the live chat feature to ask about formatting options, and the representative told me it would be no problem at all. Sure enough, I typed my request into the message box, and the designers made my changes flawlessly. The paper quality is excellent. It has a substantial, high quality feel. It is unparalleled by DIY kits. Even my local printing company couldn't match the paper quality- that's why I stuck with WPD."
"I absolutely loved this enclosure card to go along with my invites. I had the green/blue cards and invites and I changed the font from brown to green and it made the card really stand out! Love them!"
"Loved the simplicity of this card, cannot fit too much information, but I used this card to cover where my reception was and provided my website address so they could get everything else!"
"I loved the whole falling petal series from invitations, menus card, reception etc. It was exactly what I was looking for. The service they gave me was outstanding, email reminder, phone calls etc. My invites were extra long and my menu was a 5 course and they adjusted the layout for me. I want to order it all over again!!!! Thank you for making my wedding stationary look so pretty!!"

For the average woman who just gave birth, wearing a fancy dress and having perfect hair is probably low on her list of priorities. But the average woman isn't Kate Middleton. When she, Prince William, and their new baby prince exited the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital on Tuesday, there were swarms of photographers and cameramen staking out the exits to capture the newly expanded royal family's departure, so who can blame the Duchess of Cambridge for wanting to look fantastic? Early this morning, her private hair stylist, Amanda Cook Tucker, was enlisted to tame and curl Middleton's hair, and she was accompanied by another woman, possibly an assistant or stylist.
Kate Middleton's Stylish Maternity Looks
Arthur Edwards, a longtime royal photographer working for the Sun, tweeted that he spotted Middleton's stylist entering the Lindo Wing in London at 9:56 that morning. Edwards has been photographing the royal family since 1977 and was also waiting outside of St. Mary's when Prince William was born in 1982, so it's no surprise that he was able to spot Middleton's hairdresser in the crowd. Tucker arrived at the hospital with a suitcase full of grooming supplies. The other woman brought along a large garment bag containing clothes for the royal couple.
Kate Middleton, Prince William Thank Hospital Staff After Son's Birth
Just a day after delivering her first child, Kate looked truly beautiful as she emerged from St. Mary's Hospital in a cornflower-blue crepe de chine dress by Jenny Packham, one of her favorite go-to British designers. The dress appears to be a custom-modified version of the white polka dot dresses Packham sent down the spring 2013 runways last September, which have been worn by celebrities like Amy Adams and Dita Von Teese. (For a similar look on a budget, we'd suggest the $84 polka dot skater dress by British e-tailer ASOS.) The cap-sleeved, empire-waist dress featured a polka dot print that conjured up images of Princess Diana – Prince William's mother wore a polka dot dress while exiting St. Mary's Hospital after giving birth to him. It's also probably not a coincidence that the new royal parents both wore blue in honor of their baby boy.While many new moms leave the hospital in a wheelchair (or wish they did), Middleton descended the steps in nude slingback wedges. And, of course, she was wearing her famous sapphire-and-diamond engagement ring.
And now on to that signature mane. Did you expect anything other than flawless, frizz-free strands on the duchess? Middleton was a loyal client at Richard Ward's salon in London's Chelsea neighborhood until last September, when Amanda Cook Tucker, 50, accompanied the royal couple on their Diamond Jubilee tour to Southeast Asia. Tucker may be a low-profile stylist, but she had already been cutting the hair of Prince William and Harry since they were children, and she became Middleton's go-to hairstylist during her pregnancy, thanks in part to the fact that Tucker makes house calls. A source told the Daily Mail that "Amanda is an expert at what Kate loves – full glossy blow-dries that hold." That was certainly evident today.
Apparently Tucker's ex-husband, Neville Tucker, also has royal connections. The Daily Mail reports that his Knightsbridge salon held the Royal Warrant (issued to tradespeople who provide goods or services to royalty) from 1980 to 1994 and that he worked with Queen Elizabeth's longest-serving hairdresser, Charles Martyn.
The royal family's brief appearance was touching, and Middleton's hair, makeup, and ensemble were impeccable. William joked to the press that his baby has "way more hair than me," so Tucker may soon have a new client in the young prince.

Division of Insurance confirms rate filing by GEICO
Commissioner of Insurance Nonnie S. Burnes today confirmed that the Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO) has made a filing with her office to offer automobile insurance to Massachusetts customers effective May 18, 2009.
"The Division of Insurance will now review the filing to ensure it meets the rigorous consumer protections we have implemented in the transition to managed competition, as well as the requirements of all applicable statutes, regulations and rules. Today's filing marks the eighth new company to our market since the Patrick Administration implemented managed competition last April. It is further evidence that managed competition is bringing more choice in cost, coverage and companies to Massachusetts consumers. Massachusetts consumers are reaping the benefits of automobile insurance reform," said Burnes.

Customs agents decided not to seek criminal charges, concluding that there wasn´t enough evidence to show that anyone involved in the transactions knew the relevant export laws.LOLOLOL!! No, of course not. They used Gardena as a straw buyer and hid the vests in a patrol car because... um, because... uh... give me a minute.
Since the govn wants to take our guns, perhaps they should provide all 300 million of us with mandatory bulletproof vests so we have a fighting change against the criminal element......./s
Just tell the IRS ´I didn´t know the law´ when it comes tax time. See how far that gets you. Why is ignorance of the law a reason not to prosecute in this case? Could it be that they don´t want to prosecute ´their own´, but will come down hard on a ´civilian´?
I seem to recall an old saying about "ignorance of the law"--Oh, yeah, it was "ignorance of the law is no excuse", that´s what it was! Guess what, that is the actual legal doctrine--except, of course, when it isn´t. But not to worry, as in the case of semi-automatic firearms, only the police and military are to be trusted with bulletproof vests, right?
This issue and investigation has dragged on for more than ten years?The people involved seem a little slow...in more ways than one.
The government doesn´t want the citizens to be able to protect themselves or even stay safe from harm. I am just so sick of the tyrants who have taken over and our citizens who have allowed it to happen. I am sick of people in general. People could have stopped this whole mess from happening in the first place if they had stopped the infiltration of the communists into our school systems and institutions. They could have fought against all of this long ago if people had been alert and not so complacent. But people are lazy. They don´t want to fight or they give up too easily. They figure that it isn´t worth it or it´s too much trouble. I am starting to have nothing but contempt for the bulk of humanity.
I was under the impression that we mere mortals weren´t allowed to buy bullet ´proof´ vests.
Plays right along with the "why" two women were shot and truck riddled with bullets without verifying the make, model and color of the pickup delivering papers or that the two women did not look like a Chris Bonner. Plays right along with why they were told to stand down when the cabin he supposedly was in and let it burn to the ground--------Cover-up for something!LAPD was jury, judge and executioner. DOJ wants all Gitmo inmates to have a "fair" trial--for the citizens of the US - forgetaboutit.
So if we do something like that its jail time. But if the LAPD does something like that its...aaaa ooooo kayyyyy
#8, by no means am I defending the LAPD-other side of the Country, know nothing about them other than Rodney King(shoulda beat his butt harder, says this Trenton boy) but it was the San Bernadino Sheriff´s office in charge of the ´accidental´ fire, if the reports are to be believed. That would fit the geographic location better too, I think. Again, just from maps and reports.
Exporting restricted articles to a Communist country without a license.Failure to declare restricted articles in shipment exported to a Communist country.Smuggling of restricted articles.Conspiracy.What happened to ´not knowing the law isn´t a valid excuse´ ??

Happy 88th birthday today (Friday) to an Olympic gold medalist who was born fifteen days after President Jimmy E. Carter. Our birthday athlete won two Olympic gold medals at the only Games this person attended as an athlete.
As a NCAA champion, this athlete was coached by a man who was born in Oregon when Rutherford B. Hayes was our president.
Our athlete's father was from Idaho and this athlete's sister attended UCLA.
This Olympic champion was married in October and had a daughter named Susan.
After serving two years in the military service, our birthday person went to college on the GI Bill and was an Education major.
University High School is the name of our athlete's high school from which this person graduated in 1943. The eight man mile relay was one of the events our birthday athlete ran in high school.
During college, this athlete worked as a shoe cobbler. Our birthday person returned home from the Olympic Games with only one Olympic gold medal. The second Olympic gold medal was later mailed to our birthday athlete.
A famous Italian shares the same initials as our birthday gold medalist. Can you name this Olympian with two gold medals? I believe this athlete may still be alive today, however I am not completely sure. Name this Olympic gold medalist.

DAYTON, Ohio, March 22, 2013 – Freshmen scored 46 of the 62 points for the 16th-seeded James Madison men's basketball team, but top-seeded Indiana grabbed a 23-point first half lead and shot 53 percent for the game to deal Madison an 83-62 loss in the NCAA Tournament Second Round at the University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio on Friday afternoon.
The loss stopped JMU's five-game winning streak, including four straight in postseason play. The Dukes concluded the 2012-13 season with a 21-15 record, tied for their second-most wins in program history. The Hoosiers (28-6) move on to Sunday's Third Round where they'll take on ninth-seeded Temple.
Freshmen guards Andre Nation (Plant City, Fla./Faith Baptist Christian School) and Charles Cooke (Trenton, N.J./Trenton Catholic) each poured in career-highs to pace the Dukes' attack. Nation hit on 10 of his 16 shot attempts, finishing with 24 points, four rebounds and a block. Cooke scored 18 points, hitting on four of five three-point attempts. Redshirt senior guard Devon Moore (Columbus, Ohio/Northland) handed out four assists to become the first player in school history to surpass 500 assists, finishing with 502.
Yogi Ferrell led five IU players in double figures with 16, adding a game-high eight rebounds and six assists. Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo contributed 11 points each while Will Sheehey scored 15 points, grabbed three rebounds and handed out two assists. Jordan Hulls was the fifth player in double figures with 10.
Indiana won the battle on the boards, pulling down 38 to JMU's 28, including 11 offensive rebounds. IU shot 52.7 percent for the game while JMU shot 41.9 percent, including 40 percent from three-point range.
After being outscored by 21 in the first half, the Dukes hung with the Hoosiers in the second half as each team scored 40 points in the period. Freshmen scored 34 of the 40 second half points for Madison including all 18 of Cooke's points. Nation poured in 14 points of his points in the second 20 minutes while rookie guard Ron Curry (Pennsauken, N.J./Paul IV) added a second-half bucket.
The Hoosiers never let Madison get any closer than 19 points after the intermission, stifling any Madison run with an answer on the offensive end. Sheehey scored nine of points in the second half to help keep the Dukes at bay.
Indiana came out firing from the opening tip, scoring a layup on a fourth opportunity during its first possession. Ultimately the Hoosiers scored the first nine points of the game before forcing JMU head coach Matt Brady to call his first timeout. Ferrell paced the IU attack early scoring 14 of the team's first 16 points, including making all six of his shots as Indiana led 18-7 at the second media timeout.
The Hoosiers stayed hot from the floor, making five of their first nine three-point attempts and hitting on 63 percent of their shots to hold onto a 29-12 lead by the under-eight minute timeout. JMU shot just 29.4 percent from the field in the game's opening 12 minutes but received seven points on 3-of-4 shooting from redshirt senior guard A.J. Davis (Columbus, Ohio/Harmony Community School).
IU carried a 43-22 lead into halftime, finishing the first 20 minutes shooting 57.1 percent and grabbing seven offensive rebounds. Ferrell led all players with 14 points, adding seven rebounds and three assists. Zeller had seven points and three rebounds while Sheehey made three of his five field goal attempts for six points.
Nation led the Dukes with 10 points, adding two rebounds and a block. Davis contributed seven points on 3-for-6 shooting. Redshirt senior forward Rayshawn Goins (Cleveland, Ohio/Glenville) had a team-best five rebounds while Moore led JMU with a pair of assists.
NOTES: JMU's 21 wins tied five other seasons for the second most in JMU history… it was the third 21-win season in Matt Brady's five seasons, giving him three of the seven best win totals in program history… Davis had scored in double figures in nine straight games and averaged 20.5 points over 11 games before finishing with just his seven first-half points against Indiana… JMU's one steal was a season low… JMU fell to 1-31 all-time against ranked teams… JMU faced its second-largest halftime deficit of the season, second only to the 63-29 difference at UCLA in its season opener… Nation and Davis combined to shoot 7-for-14 in the first half while the rest of the team combined 2-for-17 (12 percent)… in the second half, Cooke and Nation combined to go 13-for-17… Moore finished his career as JMU's all-time record holder for assists (502) and minutes (4,177) along with second in games (124), second in starts (122), 12th in points (1,317) and 10th in steals (116)… as a team, JMU set program records for fewest turnovers per game (11.1), blocks (166), steals (272), tied the mark for games (36) and ranked fourth in blocks (4.6/game) and third in steals (7.6/game)… Goins finished fourth on the JMU season rebounds chart with 257… Moore finished with the second-most assists in a season at JMU with 172, a senior class record… Moore's 1,187 minutes this year were the second best in a season in program history… Nation added to his freshman-class records with 52 steals, good for fourth in season history, and 47 blocks, one shy of the school's top 10… JMU's freshman class finished the year with 779 points, the fourth-best first-year total in program history… JMU fell to 4-9 all-time against the Big 10, 0-2 vs. Indiana… the Dukes lost for the first time in March, dropping to 5-1 during the month… JMU went 20-10 over its final 30 games after starting 1-5… Goins stood as JMU's leading scorer from game one through 35 until being passed by Davis against Indiana for Davis to finish with 12.2 points per game while Goins had 12.1.

112 – It's Over Now (Remix) Lyrics
What is this?
Numbers in your pocket
I remember when you
Used to throw those things away
Why do you wanna keep in touch now?
Who gave you a reason?
To act so shady
Baby you know
You can call me anytime
Anything you needed I would give it to you
Ooh, that's how much I care for you
You wanna act now
Never call me back now
Turning off your cell phone
Girl you know that ain't cool
Yes I don't understand baby
Let's do it, come on
Listen, what ever happen to us
The love, the lust
We don't even kiss no more
It's nuttin like before
Now it's more pain than joy
It's makin me sick
Who'd evea think we be goin through this
Sunny dayz, everybody loves dem
But can we get through this lil bit of rainin
Damn, we stay arguin
So I guess this is it, it's so foul
How we can't work this out, it's over now
Baby it's a shame we gotta go through this
We can't even talk
Girl we don't even kiss
I never would've thought
We'd be breaking up like this
But it's over now
It's over now
You think that I don't know what's going on
Cause you're always home alone
And I'm always out of town
You need to stop trying to play me
Cause you can't even fade me
I know you're messing around baby
Baby you know
You can call me anytime
Anything you needed I would give it to you
That's how much I care for you baby
You wanna act now
Never call me back now
Turning off your cell phone
Girl you know that ain't cool
Oh I don't understand baby
Repeat Chorus (X2)
Baby it's a shame
A shame that we go through
The things that we go through
When you're in love with me
And I'm in love with you
I think that we should talk about our problems
Instead of running away
Oh baby it's a shame
We couldn't work it out
Forgot what love was all about
And the feelings we had from the start
My heart will always be with you, oh
Girl it's over
Repeat Chorus till end

Corb Lund at Turn of the Century Saloon in Montrose
Catch It
A handful of twangy guitars, steady upright bass rhythm, and a hold-steady percussion approach to Western folk are a few of the pieces that form the Corb Lund Band. Throw heartfelt drinking ballads into the mix with foot-stomping roadhouse rockabilly, and that is just the half of what you can expect from the diverse country-western quartet during their stop at the stylized 1890s saloon in Montrose this Friday. Do not be surprised when Lund digs deep into his Canadian roots and busts out a surprisingly fitting yodel section before a return to rocking the joint with more tunes from his newest record Cabin Fever.
Robotic Pirate Monkey at Mesa Theater in Grand Junction
Boulder-groomed producer trio Robotic Pirate Monkey is trekking West to bring the wobble this Friday. With sonic roots in American dubstep and glitch-hop, the self-described cyborg primates will attract distorted soul beat enthusiast and hooligan bassheads alike. Much like the producers gods on the Pretty Lights Music label, patrons can also expect RPM to take forks in the musical journey that lead down divergent paths of remixed hip-hop and beefed up dance-pop. It's rare that the Slope gets a taste of the metro electronic dance music scene, so lace up those dance kicks and hit the floor of Mesa Theater.
Jimkata at The Summit In Durango
Now touring to support their innovate, fan-funded record Die Digital, Jimkata has been a mainstay in the North East circuit for years. Recent traction stemming from the rise of EDM has afforded them the opportunity to continue expanding their signature brand of song oriented electro-rock. Analog-ish synthesizers and heavily effected live bass notes fill the electronic role, while big guitars create space for shredding within the structure of pure indie rock. Running through The Summit in Durango as part of a nationwide tour, Jimkata will put Saturday in the right direction at the intimate venue known for welcoming a rowdy dance party.
Montana Skies at Western State College in Gunnison
If you made it through the weekend reasonably unscathed, a rare musical treat is coming to Western State College in Gunnison mid-week. Montana Skies is a uber-talented guitar/cello duo that specializes in adapting the classics to the dynamic string format. The term classics is used loosely here, and encompasses a far reaching spectrum of things like Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall" to a full reworking of Vivaldi.They also mix in a number of crafty original tunes that accent a truly original presentation of genre fusion and reincarnation. Well worth the praise they have garnered from outlets like NPR, and even more deserving of checking out live.

Payroll Information
Tax Clearance Program
(Updated 04/05/07)
Executive Order 2004-03, signed by Governor Kathleen Sebelius, authorized the State of Kansas Tax Clearance Program for New Hires effective June 6, 2004. The following provides notice about the program to applicants and new hires at Pittsburg State University.
Purpose of the Program: All citizens of the State of Kansas are expected to fulfill their responsibility to pay their share of state taxes. Through education, enforcement of tax laws, and identification of non-compliance, equal treatment of all taxpayers is ensured. Public trust in state government is strengthened when public servants understand and fulfill their responsibility to pay their share of state taxes.
Coverage: Pursuant to the Executive Order, all new State of Kansas employees, except those listed below, shall be subject to a tax clearance check. Employees of the legislative and judicial branches of state government, employees of elected officials, and students employed by Board of Regents institutions shall not be subject to the tax clearance check for hiring purposes. A tax clearance check shall not delay or prevent the hiring of any candidate for employment.
Tax Clearance Check: A tax clearance check consists of a review of the records maintained by the Kansas Department of Revenue for purposes of determining whether an employee is current in the filing of tax returns, payment of tax liabilities and otherwise in compliance with Kansas tax statutes. All information provided by the Department of Revenue shall be confidential. The Kansas Department of Revenue review will be based on new hire information that the PSU is required to electronically submit to the Kansas Department of Administration.
Resolution of Tax Liability: If the review of a new employee's tax account(s) indicates that an outstanding tax liability exists or that the new employee is otherwise not in compliance with Kansas law, the employee shall be notified by federal mail that the tax clearance has been "denied." Upon receiving notification of the denial, the employee shall be required to resolve any outstanding tax liability and correct any form of non-compliance. An outstanding tax liability may be resolved either by payment in full of the balance due or establishment of an installment payment agreement with the Department of Revenue. For Tax Assistance, please contact the Kansas Department of Revenue at 1-785-368-8222.
Setoff Program: An employees who fails to cooperate with the Department of Revenue in resolving outstanding tax liabilities, including the failure to remain current in making installment payments, shall be referred to the Kansas Department of Administration debtor setoff program, under which 25% of an employee's net pay may be offset to satisfy outstanding Kansas tax liabilities. In addition, a collection fee of 17% will be added to the balance.
Former Residents of Other States: Newly hired employees who have not been Kansas residents prior to PSU employment are likely to receive a "denial" tax clearance letter from the Kansas Department of Revenue. If that letter is received, the new employee may be asked to provide or to complete information verifying that he/she was not previously a Kansas taxpayer. That information may be an affidavit stating prior residence or a tax return from the state of last residence. If a new employee receives a denial letter and needs assistance with determining the appropriate verification of prior residence and/or tax payer status, please contact the Department of Revenue, Compliance Enforcement Special Projects at 785-296-3199 or www.ksrevenue.org/taxclearance.htm for assistance. That office is open from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Non-Resident Aliens: If a newly hired employee is a non-resident alien from a country that has a tax treaty with the U.S.A., that employee's records may be exempt from the tax clearance program.
Additional Kansas Department of Revenues Contacts:
- For general tax questions (pre-approval or inquiry)
Customer Relations Wage Earner Section

Which Big Ten coach wanted to be a Secret Service agent? Which quarterback spent the summer working for Goldman Sachs? What comment from a Michigan player landed on Ohio State's bulletin board? What Big Ten policy does Bill O'Brien find absurd? Which stadium is the toughest place to play? Before you dive into depth charts and practice reports, check out our annual sights and sounds package from Big Ten media days.
* * *
Hey coach, it was a start
Combined, the 12 Big Ten coaches will earn almost $30 million this season. But life wasn't always so glamorous. Where did they start? The World-Herald asked three to reflect on their first coaching jobs.
Jerry Kill was living in a trailer in Winfield, Kan., working at an all-night grocery store when he landed his first coaching job. He was 21, his new wife was 19. Two months before the 1984 season, he got a call from Midwest City High School in Oklahoma.
He had a buddy whose dad was on the school board.
"He said, we've never hired anybody from the state of Kansas, but we'll help you out if you come down here and be a linebacker coach," Kill said. "I went to that school and our quarterback just happened to be Mike Gundy. We won a lot of football games."
The Kills had a nice apartment, too. Even had a pool. "Living the dream," he said.
But the next year, Kill got another call. Pittsburg State coach Dennis Franchione needed a defensive coordinator.
The Kills moved back to Kansas — and back to a trailer.
"I'm still married to that gal," the Minnesota coach said. "You need to meet her."
Bill O'Brien's first coaching gig came at his alma mater, St. John's Prep in Danvers, Mass. The Penn State coach was fresh out of high school in 1988, taking a one-semester break before starting classes at Brown University.
"I'm not a rocket scientist, so I didn't get accepted to Brown 'til January. So my dad was like, go get a job."
He worked until 2 p.m. at a lumberyard, where he built sheds for Sears. When he got off work, he volunteered to coach the linemen at St. John's Prep.
"So that was my first job," O'Brien said. "I knew what I wanted to do."
Brady Hoke wanted to do something else in 1981. The criminal justice major had just finished playing football at Ball State when President Ronald Reagan was shot. Hoke set a goal: He wanted to join the Secret Service.
"I felt it was my duty to protect the president of the United States."
He got an internship with the Federal Probation and Parole Office in southern Indiana. He covered six counties and 44 people per caseload. But that fall of '81, football called him back.
When he wasn't in court, Hoke helped at Yorktown High School. He got a $700 stipend. He coached two years there, then moved to Grand Valley State, where he started his college path to Michigan.
"It's funny. We're in the process of moving and my wife went through all these boxes," Hoke said. "Income tax and all that kind of stuff. She's kind of a hoarder in a good way. She pulled out what was the handwritten contract to coach at Yorktown."
It's 32 years later. No president since Reagan has been shot. Hoke's annual contract is worth $3 million.
He made the right choice.

6 points with Pat Fitzgerald
1. With all the concussion concerns right now, would you let your son play football?
"I already do. I got one playing and two more on the way. It's the best team game to teach you about yourself. The discipline it takes to be a young football player is very challenging.
"My son, Jack, is 8 years old and played his first year of tackle football last year. He showed up on time and his coach made him run around the goal post. And he came home and told his mom he was late, that's why he ran. I was like, this is the greatest thing of all time."
2. So you're not worried about the collisions?
"I watch 'em play soccer and they run into each other with no pads on and bang their heads. They're like bobbleheads at that age. Their helmets are bigger than their bodies. It's a riot."
3. Growing up, what was your favorite poster on your wall?
"My mom bought me Sports Illustrated, so I was able to get all the Sports Illustrated posters. So I had 'em all, but my favorite one was Bo Jackson with the shoulder pads and the baseball bat. The 'Bo Knows' campaign."
4. What game from childhood do you wish you could've attended?
"The '85 Super Bowl with the Bears, no doubt."
5. What would be your advice to your 30-year-old self?
"Don't be so serious. As an assistant, you have tunnel vision, 'I gotta become a coordinator!' Settle down. Coach your team. Coach your guys. Have some fun."
6. What's the career loss that sticks with you the most?
"Probably the (2010) Outback Bowl (a 38-35 overtime loss to Auburn). It was such a magical game. If that could've been the way we got over the bowl drought, the victories would've been really special.
"Kind of got a little greedy at the end. I called a play that I thought would've been really appropriate. We won the '49 Rose Bowl on a trick play. And I kind of wanted to honor Coach (Randy) Walker, and that was one of Coach Walk's favorite plays that we ran in overtime (a misdirection fumblerooskie on fourth-and-goal). And it didn't work. ...
"I think we were 9 for 9 running that play in previous years. We didn't do a good job coaching it."
* * *
Good hands with Farmers ...
Farmers and wrestlers. Kirk Ferentz has coached enough football to know you can't go wrong recruiting those groups.
"We haven't had many guys who were good wrestlers that ended up being bad football players," Ferentz said. "We've never had a kid who was a farm kid who was a bad football player, either."
That's why he's excited about coaching Nathan Bazata, a true freshman defensive lineman from Howells, Neb.
"He doesn't say a lot, he just kinda smiles at ya," Ferentz said. "He's not arrogant in any way, but he's very confident. He knows he's a worker."
Ferentz has similar high hopes for Drew Ott, another D-lineman from Giltner, Neb., whom Iowa coaches pulled out of a redshirt season in 2012.
"He came to our camp his junior year," Ferentz said. "He weighed 207 pounds. We lined him up as a defensive lineman and he got slaughtered. Didn't look very good. Well, no kidding. He didn't play that position in high school."
Ferentz stuck with him. Now Ott reminds him of so many past Hawkeyes. Hard worker. Competitive. Just enough athleticism.
|Join the conversation on the Big Red Today Facebook page.
"It's all out there for him," Ferentz said. "It's gonna be fun to watch him over the next three years and see how far he can take it. ... He probably needs to shave. Outside of that, he's doing pretty good."
* * *
Miller's time
Nobody in college football attracts a spotlight like Johnny Manziel. But Braxton Miller, fresh off a 12-0 season at Ohio State, understands the burden of football fame, especially as the Buckeyes come under fire for another round of off-the-field issues.
"You just have to take care of yourself, man," Miller said. "Everybody's out there to get you. You have a big name on your shoulders at Ohio State. ... You have to be more aware of what's going to happen to you if you do something silly. It's going to affect yourself and your team."
You won't find a picture of him drinking or smoking, Miller said. He doesn't do that. But it's more complicated than Friday night parties. It's accommodating strangers who want to talk to him. It's dealing with Saturday afternoon expectations.
How do you prepare yourself for all that?
"That guy over there," Miller said, pointing at Urban Meyer.
The coach is constantly telling Miller about Alex Smith and Tim Tebow, quarterbacks who handled themselves the right way.
"I want to be like them one day, a guy who — when he's done coaching me — he can talk about me to anybody."
For the record, the last Big Ten player to win the Heisman Trophy (Troy Smith) was an Ohio State quarterback. If Miller goes undefeated again, he might take Johnny Football's Heisman — and his place as college football's biggest star.
* * *
Speech can wait
Urban Meyer spent hours in the summer of 2012 planning what to say to his Buckeyes after they lost a game. Without a bowl game or an undefeated season, how would he keep them motivated?
Turned out, Meyer never had to give that speech. Ohio State went 12-0 and the coach marveled at the players' focus and competitiveness. A year later, the Buckeyes have everything to play for, including a national title.
Will his second Ohio State team be as driven? He hopes so.
"I'm a little bit more concerned about this one," Meyer said. "Keeping our eye on the target, the next game instead of worrying about something bigger. It's hard to keep them locked in."
* * *
Shoutout to fans
Pat Fitzgerald had never seen anything like it. Opposing fans congratulating his players? After Northwestern had just beaten their team?
Two years later, Fitzgerald still wears a look of shock thinking of Nebraska fans. Even at the airport, the guys handling Northwestern's bags were saying "great win."
"I think that really gave us a great glimpse of the sportsmanship of the Nebraska fan base and those folks out there," Fitzgerald said. "It was really something special."
Doesn't mean he expects it again. Considering what happened last time, Fitzgerald said grinning, Husker hospitality may have been a one-time deal.
* * *
A fan of night games
Jim Delany met with Big Ten coaches last Wednesday morning and reminded them that starting next year, the conference extends from the East Coast to Colorado. Coaches need to take advantage. He suggested getting all 14 together next summer and traveling to New York to "make ourselves known."
What else can the Big Ten do to increase its exposure? Bill O'Brien is a strong proponent of night games in November.
"When I got to Penn State, somebody told me about a rule that they didn't play night games in November in the Big Ten because of the weather. And I thought, wait a minute now, I've been in an AFC championship game when it was about 10 below zero in January in Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
"We have great atmospheres. Take Penn State, for example. How 'bout a white-out game at Penn State, 108,000 fans versus Nebraska in late November? To me, if we can play prime-time games in all three months, that'll be great for our conference."

Now we're even
The most even rivalry in college football isn't Ohio State-Michigan or Auburn-Alabama or Notre Dame-USC.
It's Iowa-Wisconsin. After 86 meetings dating to 1894, the series is split 42-42-2. After a two-year hiatus, they're back on each other's schedules in 2013 — and should be indefinitely when the Big Ten aligns East and West in '14.
"Selfishly, I think it's something both states, both schools are excited about," Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz said. "The good news is moving forward with our expansion, we'll all be in the same division."

Investing in his future
Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter hopes to play in the NFL. But the senior psychology major began an internship last month with investment firm Goldman Sachs, specializing in property wealth management.
"Sitting at a desk most of the day is draining," Colter said. "You think it wouldn't be because you're not doing anything (physical), but then you get home and all you want to do is sleep.''
Colter said watching a recent ESPN "30 for 30'' special called "Broke,'' which highlighted the number of professional athletes with serious money problems, caught his attention.
"A lot of these athletes come from backgrounds where they have no financial knowledge,'' he said. "Hearing some of those stories, I think it would be huge to have somebody who actually played be someone who players could trust with their money.''
Colter's day-to-day work at Goldman Sachs involves analyzing portfolios and prospecting for new clients. Managing money and networking are the two biggest things he has focused on.
"People are going to help the people they know and like,'' Colter said. "So the more people you can network with, it's going to be to your benefit.''
Colter once considered medical school. He hasn't dismissed it.
"But I don't want to go right after undergrad,'' he said. "I want to get some work experience first — hopefully in the NFL.''

Plenty to say between OSU, UM
Wouldn't be summer without a little trash talk between Michigan and Ohio State.
In June, a sports-talk host in Grand Rapids asked Wolverines quarterback Devin Gardner if Michigan could beat Ohio State.
"We always have room for improvement, but this is definitely a championship-caliber football team that will win in the Big House against Ohio State," Gardner said. "We don't feel we're inferior to anyone in the country, and we're going to give it our all."
That comment got back to the Buckeyes.
"He has no idea what we have in store for him, and what we've been working on," Ohio State safety Christian Bryant told reporters Thursday.
"I'm not blaming him for being confident. He's the quarterback of their team. If he's not showing confidence, they won't be confident. But they've got another think coming. Trust me."
Divisional changes in 2014 mean this is the last chance for Ohio State and Michigan to meet in the conference championship game. Wouldn't playing back-to-back weeks be a little anticlimactic?
"How could it be?" Brady Hoke said.
It's the greatest rivalry in sports, the Wolverine coach said. It's a Big Ten championship.
"I think we can round 'em back up and get ready to go."
* * *
Respect for Rex
Iowa senior linebacker Christian Kirksey still has mad respect for a former Nebraska running back.
When asked who the toughest Big Ten players have been to tackle in his career, Kirksey quickly offered two names: Michigan State's Le'Veon Bell and NU's Rex Burkhead.
"He was just a hard-nosed runner," Kirksey said of Burkhead, now a Cincinnati Bengal. "He'd just keep his feet going. He's not the biggest guy, but he was so compact."
* * *
Tough call? Rivals to friends
Not all Wolverines and Buckeyes loathe each other. Brian Griese and Joey Galloway, both ESPN analysts, spent most of last Wednesday side by side.
"I gotta keep at least a four-foot distance from him," said Griese, the former Michigan quarterback who played with Galloway in Tampa Bay.
Galloway is attempting to become the latest ex-Buckeye to go big in broadcasting. His distinguished predecessors include Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Spielman, Robert Smith and Cris Carter (not to mention college basketball's Clark Kellogg). Does ESPN really need another Buckeye in the booth?
"We laugh about it ourselves," Galloway said.
He routinely seeks advice from Herbstreit, but admits he's still a little unpolished, especially when it comes to shedding his allegiance.
Just as Galloway finished that sentence, a broadcasting peer greeted and embraced him. Who? Eddie George.
You know where he went to school.
* * *
A Boo-Boo and a beard
Wisconsin wide receiver Jared Abbrederis showed up in Chicago with a purplish mark under his eye, near the bridge of his nose. He broke the nose last week during player-led, 7-on-7 drills.
"I caught a pass and the DB tried to knock it away, and instead he missed the ball and hit my nose," Abbrederis said. "I don't want say who it was — because everybody would get mad at him — but I still caught the ball. I saw blood on my arm, threw the ball down and walked right off. That's football. No hard feelings."
Abbrederis complemented the nose with a beard that he's started as a kind of homage to former Badger offensive lineman Travis Frederick, whose beard had grown so long in college that he drew comparisons to the notorious beard-wearing group on "Duck Dynasty." Frederick, a draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys, shaved off the beard at the end of May.
So far, Abbrederis has grown an impressive strip on his face that seems capable of going as long as he does on fly routes.
"I never really grew a full beard before, but at the start of summer I said 'let's see what happens,'?" Abbrederis said. "I kinda like it. We'll see if it bothers my chinstrap or it gives me more cushion."

Loving Lincoln
Nebraska's 2007 showdown against USC seems so long ago. But Nathan Scheelhaase remembers.
The dual-threat prospect from Kansas City, Mo., was on the sideline before the game and thought it was one of the most amazing things he'd ever seen.
Scheelhaase eventually chose Illinois over the Huskers and figured with NU in the Big 12, he'd never play in Memorial Stadium. Six years later, he'll finally get his shot Oct. 5.
It's as close as Scheelhaase will get to a homecoming. Friends and family will make the drive from Kansas City. Former high school teammate Michael Rose will be on the Husker sideline.
"There's a lot to get excited about."
Scheelhaase battled knee, ankle and Achilles injuries in 2012. His struggles were one reason Illinois went 0-8 in Big Ten play.
To break that streak, he'll need to win in Lincoln.
* * *
Just like Jack
Jack Hoffman is famous around college football for his touchdown run at NU's spring game. But his influence doesn't stop with an ESPY Award.
Team Jack is affiliated with Uplifting Athletes, a national organization of college football players who raise awareness and funding for rare diseases. This year, Wisconsin started its own chapter, spearheaded by Chris Borland. They recently had their first event for Darien Moran, an eighth-grader who has suffered from Langerhans cell histiocytosis since 2011.
Borland is motivated by what's happened at Nebraska.
"Obviously, we understand everything they've done with Team Jack, what Burkhead has done. It was impressive. The organization in general is something really impactful that we wanted to be part of."
* * *
A perfect game
Eight months later, the Big Ten championship game still feels a little surreal for Jared Abbrederis.
He's played 40 college football games. None have unfolded so perfectly. In most games, even when you have a good game plan, Abbrederis said, it's hard to get all 11 guys to do their job.
"But that game, it was just an insane amount of execution. I don't think you could have another game like that if you wanted."
* * *
Hard luck vs. Huskers
Darqueze Dennard's luck against the Huskers wasn't so good.
The Michigan State cornerback, expected to be one of the nation's best this season, was flagged for pass interference against Kenny Bell in the end zone with 17 seconds left, leading to the game-winning touchdown two plays later.
"I don't know what else I could've done," Dennard said last Wednesday.
Earlier in the fourth, Dennard returned an interception 95 yards for a touchdown. It was called back when officials flagged teammate Johnny Adams for unnecessary roughness against Bell.
|Get the latest Big Ten headlines from The World-Herald and from beat writers around the nation.
For months, Adams apologized, Dennard said.
"He always says, 'My bad, bro.' I think it was a clean play. It's football."
* * *
Favorite unis? He's a little off the mark
Venric Mark's pick for best Big Ten uniform? A little outside the box.
"I love our girls lacrosse team, there's no question," said Mark, Northwestern's speedy tailback.
"They just actually got a new design. It's kinda like the Oregon ones, but it's a little different. It has a purple outlay and silver inside, with the all-white look. They've won, I believe, six national state championships, and they look good while doing it."
Teammate Kain Colter, listening to Mark, looked at a Northwestern spokesperson. "He just said six national state championships."
Said the spokesperson: "What does that even mean?"

Big Ten player survey
What's the toughest place to play in the Big Ten?
"Penn State. That's probably the loudest I've ever heard a stadium, besides the Horseshoe, of course." — Christian Bryant, Ohio State
"Michigan State. The fans are right on top of you." — Jared Abbrederis, Wisconsin
"Probably Penn State. They get real, real rowdy." — Venric Mark, Northwestern
"I would definitely say Penn State. Being from Pennsylvania, it gets really loud there." — Corey Lewis, Illinois
"I'd probably say Ohio State. It's just different. The fans are great there." — Gabe Holmes, Purdue
"Nebraska fans are crazy. Some of them came to our walk-through outside our hotel and were honking their horns. I've never seen that before. They have nothing else to do out there except watch college football, so they're big fans." — Ra'Shede Hageman, Minnesota
"Probably Penn State. They have a loud stadium. Hats off to their fans." — Brett Van Sloten, Iowa
If you could take one guy off a Big Ten team and put him on your team, who would you pick?
Wisconsin wideout Jared Abbrederis. "He does everything right. He goes out and blocks every play. He makes it look like every play he's getting the ball." — Ricardo Allen, Purdue
Wisconsin safety Dezmen Southward. "Great player, athletic. And he's my high school teammate." — Gabe Holmes, Purdue
Michigan left tackle Taylor Lewan. "He'd be a great piece to any offensive line." — Corey Lewis, Illinois
Indiana receiver Shane Wynn (a high school teammate). "He's just a guy with special talent. People get on him about his height, but his play-making ability is incredible. You can't take that away from somebody." — Christian Bryant, Ohio State
Aside from your own, what are our favorite Big Ten uniforms?
"Ohio State's Pro Combat jerseys are pretty nice." — Gabe Holmes, Purdue
"I like the traditional Penn State uniforms." — Corey Lewis, Illinois
Michigan State's dark green and black alternates. "I definitely like their swag." — Ra'Shede Hageman, Minnesota
Nebraska's first alternate uniforms, which they wore against Wisconsin. — Donnell Kirkwood, Minnesota
Minnesota. "I like the maroon and gold look. My dad went to Minnesota." — Taylor Lewan, Michigan
"Nebraska's, because they're close to ours." — Jared Abbrederis, Wisconsin
Aside from your own, which Big Ten coach would you choose to play for?
"Bo Pelini's pretty cool. He's a Youngstown guy. I'm from Ohio, so having that bond would be pretty cool." — Tyler Scott, Northwestern
"Urban Meyer" — Gabe Holmes, Purdue
"Urban Meyer or Bill O'Brien" — Corey Lewis, Illinois
"Brady Hoke" — Brett Van Sloten, Iowa
"I've really grown to like Coach O'Brien. He's awesome. I've had the opportunity to talk to him a couple of times." — Taylor Lewan, Michigan
"Urban Meyer" — Ra'Shede Hageman, Minnesota
"It's hard to go against an undefeated season, so I would go Urban Meyer." — Jared Abbrederis, Wisconsin
What would be your advice for Johnny Manziel?
"Ignore the outside noise." — Brett Van Sloten, Iowa
"I just don't think he realizes the level he's at. He's gonna be scrutinized for everything he does, so my main advice would be go out there and have a good season. Because if not, everybody's gonna pinpoint everything that has gone on during the offseason." — Corey Lewis, Illinois
"My advice would be for the media. Just relax on him a little bit. Chill out. He's gonna be his own man." — Nathan Scheelhaase, Illinois
"You're doing something you love, you're always gonna get attacked for little things. Keep playing ball. Everybody likes him. I don't see him doing anything wrong." — Donnell Kirkwood, Minnesota
"Keep his social life away from .... ahh, I don't know. He's his own person. He's the Heisman Trophy winner. I should ask him for advice." — Ra'Shede Hageman, Minnesota

The Winter Meetings concluded in Nashville today and the Dodgers left with one less top prospect in the farm system. The Dodgers lost outfielder Alfredo Silverio to the Miami Marlins, and elected to not select a player in the Major League phase of Thursday's Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings.
Silverio, considered one of the organization's better outfield prospects a year ago, after coming off a breakthrough during his 2011 season in Double-A, was seriously injured in a January auto accident in his native Dominican Republic, and missed the entire 2012 season. Silverio suffered a concussion among other injuries, eventually needing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.
The former Dodger hit .306 with 16 home runs, 85 RBIs and 90 runs for Double-A Chattanooga in 2011 and was added to the 40-man roster last November to protect him from that Rule 5 Draft. The Dodgers clearly decided his future after outrighting Silverio to Triple-A Albuquerque back on November 4th to clear space on the 40-man roster.
The Marlins will now have to pay the Dodgers $50,000 and cannot send him down to the Minor Leagues for a full season without first offering him back to the Dodgers for $25,000.
In other Rule 5 news, the Dodgers selected two players in the Triple-A phase of the Rule 5 Draft. The Dodgers first selected infielder Elevys Gonzalez (pictured left) from the Pirates' Double-A roster and right-handed pitcher Hector Nelo (pictured right) from the Nationals' Double-A roster.
Gonzalez, 23, is a switch-hitter and batted a combined .206 with six homers and 35 RBIs with Class A Bradenton and Double-A Altoona in 2012. Nelo, 26, had a 2.73 ERA in 47 relief appearances for Double-A Harrisburg.

Grolsch plans on brewing beer from sustainably grown barley - Working on sustainable agriculture with growers - (Translation)
13 July 2009
On Saturday, the 27th of June, Grolsch will organize a sustainable agriculture-themed demonstration day for brewing barley growers in its Malthouse in Kloosterzande (Zeelandic Flanders). Grolsch has the ambition to eventually brew its beer from sustainably grown barley malt extract, for which productive cooperation with growers in the chain is essential. This will provide Grolsch with brewing barley of excellent quality and result in higher proceeds for growers. The demonstration day is meant to attract more growers in Zeelandic Flanders and increase their interest in and enthusiasm for a sustainable venture.
Growing Grolsch
The Grolsch Malthouse in Kloosterzande cooperates intensively with a core group of growers in Zeelandic Flanders in order to permanently improve barley production and to create a proper chain structure, giving rise to the project 'Growing Grolsch'. This project focuses on sustainable agriculture and offers major advantages for both growers and Grolsch: improved management, better quality and securing brewing barley availability.
Jos Haeck, manager of the Malthouse in Kloosterzande comments: "We share with our growers our pride and passion for our products. On the basis of sustainable agriculture, we would now like to extend our cooperation with them. After all, craftsmanship is mastership!"
A sustainable and responsible venture
Grolsch's activities surrounding sustainable agriculture are part of its sustainable and responsible venture program. Spearheads of the program for the upcoming year are:
- Alcohol: encouraging responsible alcohol consumption;
- Water: brewing more beer with less water;
- Energy & CO2: reducing energy consumption CO2 emission;
- Packaging: encouraging the reuse and recycling of packaging.
Would you like to know more about the project and the ambitions of Growing Grolsch? Then we would like to invite you to attend our demonstration day for brewing barley growers this Saturday, the 27th of June, from 2 PM.

The Stellar Construction "Catch A Rising Star" Showcase, held every July at Cedar Beach, has become one of the biggest high school-age basketball events in the country.
Now, Stellar would like to do for high school 7-on-7 football what it has done for basketball.
Glen Klein, who runs the basketball tournament, will also coordinate this event with help from several local coaches including Parkland's Tim McGorry and Whitehall's Brian Gilbert, who will serve as co-directors.
Tony Trisciani, the former Whitehall head coach who is now an assistant at Villanova, was involved in laying the groundwork for this first tournament.
"Division I schools can't host these tournaments anymore, so we're the only game in town," Klein said. "Rutgers, Lehigh and Bucknell used to host these tournaments, and we weren't going to step on anyone's toes. We're hoping that all of the Lehigh Valley schools will take advantage of this being held right here in their own backyard.
"It's an opportunity for the kids to get some exposure. Even though they can't talk to the kids, college coaches can still come and watch. And we're going to do this first-class, just like we do with the basketball tournament."
Klein sees no problem in filling a 35- team field that will be spread into seven pools of five teams each.
Each team is guaranteed four games during pool play. The seven pool winners and a wild-card team will go on to an eight-team single-elimination tourney to finish it out.
Games will begin each day at 9 a.m. with the last game to start at 7 p.m., including the championship game on the 24th.
Allentown's J. Birney Crum Stadium will be used as well as the Whitehall and Parkland stadiums.
Crum will likely serve as the lone venue for the single-elimination portion of the tournament. An awards presentation will follow the championship game, just as is the case with the basketball tournament.
The entry fee is $300 and only high school-affiliated teams are eligible.
Each game lasts 22 minutes with a running clock for the first 20. During the last two minutes of each game, all PIAA rules apply for stopping the clock.
Any questions about the tournament or registration should be directed to Glen Klein at 610-533-2168 or visit the website http://www.stellarbasketball.com
The Stellar basketball tournament, by the way, will be held two weeks after the football tournament on July 11-15.
Klein also announced that his son, Nicholas, and Jamie Henry, are the new directors of the girls hoops tournament.
The next Super Sunday for area high school football players is coming up on March 4 at the Northampton Community Center.
Stellar sets dates for first football 7-on-7 tournament
Three venues to be used for new 7-for-7 football tournament

Best Thai Food – 2nd visit - I adore this place nice atomo - great food*
will be taking my partner next time
Nice place – Great atmosphere! The waitresses are very kind, and willing to help! Please try the coconut soup, you won't regret!
Thai food done as it should be – Thai Star is a great little restaurant, the quality and price are hard to beat. One of my go-to dishes is the Kapow, I make it a point to try different items from the menu and have enjoyed everything I have had. The staff is excellent and the service is friendly and efficient without feeling rushed. This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the metroplex.
Yummy! – Wow, we tried a new place for lunch. Now it is my favorite Thai food in Dallas. (sorry, Royal Thai)
I had Broccoli Stir Fry...garlicky, fresh ingredients, mouth watering...delish....also with a nice spicy kick. I ordered medium. My fellow diners were equally delighted with their entrees. I had a bite of the noodles and they tasted like more. I can't wait to go back...maybe this weekend!
BEST DALLAS THAI FOOD RESTAURANT!!! – My wife and I brought another couple with us to Thai Star last week! WHAT A GREAT TIME!! We ordered 4 entrees and split them up between us...WHAT A FEAST!! Between the Shrimp/Pork Dumplings, the fantastic noodle and chicken dishes, plus Shrimp rolls---YUMMMMMM!!! We savored every bite!
This restaurant really made our time with special friends an EXTRA SPECIAL EVENT, and a night to remember! The service was excellent, and Mark, the co-owner, took care of our every need Quick-Quick! Such a delight to find an excellent restaurant with great food and great service!! We will be back again soon!
Try it---YOU'LL LOVE IT!! Bring your friends--you'll be glad you did!!
the best Thai Food – I just back from my second visit and I've got the say this is the best Thai food I've had in Dallas. The first time I went, I started with the shrimp and pork dumpling. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. My friend and I fought over the last one. I also had the 8 angles with pork. It was sooo good. The vegetables and noodles were perfectly cooked and the sauce was fantastic. I could hardly wait to go back the next week, started with the shrimp rolls, excellent elongated shrimp in a wrapper and fried. Also had the herbed chicken fried rice. It was small pieces of fried chicken breast that had a hint of lemon grass and lime with jasmine rice and other mixed vegetables. It was great. The new owners do everything they can to make you feel at home and you can tell the chef takes pride in her work, the food really shows it. This is hands down my new favorite restaurant.
An oasis from the Addison "strip" of chain restaurants – Thai Star is a wonderful experience if you like cozy, one of a kind, I've stepped out of my hectic life, into an oasis in Addison type of place. We all need that – especially if you've had the week I had.
When you walk into the restaurant, you know you are off the main strip and it's a breath of fresh air. The Asian print throw pillows on the bench attracted my eye, but I noticed that the raised area under the thatched roof attracts the attention of all the women on dates when they walked through the door. Their counterparts would head straight for one of the square tables with beautifully embroidered tablecloths protected by glass tops.
My boyfriend and I have been there 3 times already and have ordered different appetizers and entrées each time and have never been disappointed. The sauces are flavorful without being overbearing. I always test Thai restaurants with the standard Chicken Satay and Pad Thai. The peanut sauce was light and flavorful – I hate places that offer it with the thick texture of peanut butter. The Pad Thai was delicious and next time I need to upgrade to Level 2 for spiciness. (I'm a wimp and play it safe until I find out what their definition of Level 1 is). The staff is very gracious and accommodating with the smallest requests of modifications (no scallions etc). The prices are very reasonable and make for a cheap evening, especially when you bring your own wine.
One of our recent visits was a Saturday night when they had a lovely young woman fresh from the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, sharing her original songs on her guitar and keyboard. It wasn't so loud that you couldn't talk and listening to the lyrics and stories behind the songs was like having a private "MTV Storytellers" show.
If you want a place where you can talk without shouting, your meals aren't priced to cover the overhead costs of the latest atmosphere trends and you want authentic-quality Thai food, I highly recommend dropping by for a visit.
Owners Response To Lancekra – We at Thai Star have done everything we can to make every one a happy customer and we understand that it is impossible to do so! I personally feel a response is needed to set the facts straight about Thai Star. Our lunches have remained the same.
In fact we have the same staff that has always been here. We are not under new management. My wife and I bought the place and we added music because the music players were all broken. We added a TV for the benefit of our mainly lunch business crowd, who want to keep up with what's happening before they need to get back to work.
Sometimes change can be good. We left the food alone and have worked hard to improve our establishment. About 99% of all the reviews we have received, about 50 reviews in all, since we have been open, have been very good, 4 and 5 stars, on other sites.
We are guilty of trying to do something with our otherwise very slow and quiet Saturday nights. When we purchased the place, the previous owners had been closed for all evenings, leaving the place only open for lunch.
We have indeed invited local musicians, acoustic singer/songwriters, to our restaurant every other week to play their original material. The music is varied and for the most part I have been surprised at how good it is! What all of our musicians have in common is that it is music from their heart!
We have done the live music and buffet only 4 times in the 4+ months we have been open, and when we do, we post it around the restaurant in advance, advertise it, and put it on our website.
We serve a delicious Thai buffet on the special music nights only, so people can try different Thai Dishes other than what they usually order! And we try to make it a good deal, as in $10.95 for 2 appetizers, 5 entrees, and dessert.
So, except for the music night, every other Saturday night, we have our regular menu Monday through Friday day & night 11am-9pm and every other Saturday 12pm to 9:30pm.
If you do not like live music or a buffet then come and join us any other day or night except on our posted and advertised every other Saturday nights. We do not mind at all if this is not your thing.
We are just trying to support local music and provide an alternative to the bar scence, where you can actually see some great musicians play their hearts out! And get in and out by 9 pm or so rather than waiting till 11pm for the first musician to start playing.
Our food has not wavered, our staff have remained the same as it was before we opened, and yes, we are guilty of adding a TV and music, and pictures on the walls, for that matter.
As for the guys in jean shorts and the homeless person, with six pack, and so forth, this is just not true or fair, and in no way represents our establishment. I am not sure what we personally did to this diner to deserve this type of commentary.
We do everything we can to make this restaurant a great place to dine, a great place to grab a quick lunch, and a good place to see wonderful singer/songwriters every other week, on Saturday nights only!
We hope to see you all soon, at Thai Star, where you can still get a great quick lunch and a quiet relaxing dinner, except every other Saturday night.
New Ownership Big Disappointment. WHAT A SHAME – I thought I was going out for Thai? What's the deal with the really bad ...effing terrible live folk? singer?
I should have seen it coming with the new management adding T.V.'s and recorded music at what was until recently a solid spot for lunch.
You don't know what you are going to get with this place anymore. Apparently it could be buffet style place with guys in jean shorts and flip flops wandering in with a six pack under their arm to just sit around when you were expecting to take a date to a genuine Thai restaurant. Or its a bad live music showcase which sets a mood that could only be compared to homeless person battered with filth being seated at your table and then sneezing all over you.
My co-workers and I have been going to this location for lunch for years but the new owners who went into great detail when describing the "authentic" Thai dishes and "traditional" Thai decor initially , now have mixed mash of ill-fitting parts.
What a disappointment
best thai food in Dallas and Addison! – I was so happy when I found the Thai Star. This place is so cool on the inside and the found is authentic. They have a very wide menu with so many options!! This is a great atmosphere for a date or also for family or business dinner. It has an intimate feel and is perfect for a getaway dinner in Addison. They also deliver and do take out which i love! I would recommend this place to anyone! Great thai food!

I used Revel EFI to get Snow leopard running on my acer laptop. It works and is fairly snappy. But does anyone else here have experience with Rebel EFI? Do I Have to boot with the Rebel disc always?
Also, I have to use a usb mouse to work with my laptop; is there a driver available to get my touchpad working? I have no sound either.
